Mario, >From a conceptual standpoint it is not all that difficult technically. It just requires something in the way of a preprocessor (filter) to add the tangential axis and introduce head lifts at the appropriate points. For example, a head up for any G0 command, head down for any other G motion command, and a head up, rotate tangential axis, head down sequence when the angle between two vectors exceeds a specified angle.
It is just a matter of working out the exact mechanics primarily of "where" to implement it. Regards, Eric So I understand it correctly that a wheel-cutter mode is now in ideological development, right?
